I've been throwing for about two years now and I've had some time
to reflect on my equipment. Like most of you, I had gathered lots of
different throwing knives and other pointy things, thinking "the ad
said throwing knife, so this must be a throwing knife!"

I had about 60 different knives before I actually visited a web site
and saw what knife throwing was REALLY all about.

My real improvement started when I purchased real throwing knives and
a video that actually had some knife throwing information.

My point is this, if you are really serious about knife and tomahawk
throwing buy good equipment. In the long run it will save you lots
of time and money. Buy implements that were really designed for
throwing. Buy the best and throw your best. When you master the
basics, then pick up the junk, like Lee Fugatt does, and make it
stick anytime.

Well, I hope this helps the new throwers to get started in throwing
knives and tomahawks. I encourage all of you to come to a tournament
and meet some great people. (And, yes, you are good enough to compete
in a tournament.)

Besides, your skills will improve DRAMATICALLY when
you throw with other throwers.
